1977 Corvette smoke coming in from vents

Asked by VetGuy1983 Jul 05, 2018 at 04:32 PM about the 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So I just changed out my old intake and carb now I'm
getting white smoke coming outta the vents when the car
heats up. With the old carb and intake this was not
happening. Coolant levels are topped off lines are not
clogged. Any idea what would cause this?

Have you checked the Heater Coil? Mine went out on my 1995 and filled the car with fog from the Air Conditioning Vents. Also, leaked water onto the carpet on the passenger side.

Does the smoke smell like gas exhaust? Does it have a sweet smell like antifreeze? Are all your hoses hooked up correctly? You changed intakes, and carb, did everything hook up right? Did you reverse the heater hose leading to the heater coil?
